Victor Issa’s approach to creating unique portraits in
bronze represents the culmination of nearly thirty years of
sculpting the human form. Be it a full figure, a simple bust, or
a complicated group composition, his goal is always to capture
and portray the essence and the soul of the subject, not just the
likeness. His commission calendar is currently booked through mid
2012, but he is always excited to discuss future projects with
discriminating patrons, those looking for the finest in bronze
